What do you mean?

Brought the suffix so will spool it up and give it a throw around when i get the chance. Thumbs Up

Fair point, occasionally I will leave a rapala or stickbait out while drifting/trolling, hence want hi-vis. No real science or thought behind it.
 
I use a rod and a half plus a few spool wraps of leader. I only use supple mono anyway not fluro.

I'm using berkley whiplash at the moment. have found the biggest problem is when your spool is to full. have used the suffix. viro's and a few others. if the spool is to full they all do the same thing. All good braids in there own right though. don't need hi vis for poppers. 

 I've been playing around with leader lengths on the soft bait set this winter. short leader definately effects your catch rate when using a hi vis line.

Hi-vis to see easily, it's all topwater so fish don't see the braid

Yip viro is no worries at all. I use it, not much abrasion resistance though. loops and tangles can come from many different problems i.e. reel, rod, leader, line, so may or may not be a braid issue. Why use hi vis? I dont get it

Sorry to barge into the topic xsspeed, but also looking for a good castable braid, as have had problems with the stuff i got now. Was looking into the suffix performance braid as seems to be reasonably priced for a PE braid. Any one else use this braid for casting poppers?]]> Sat, 23 Oct 2010 15:00:26 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=58861&PID=840911&title=braid-for-casting-poppers#840911
